The experience of time in the psychotherapy of hospitalized adolescents.
Individual psychotherapy of adolescents in extended hospital or residential treatment is shaped by the prominence of the issues around time that are fostered by such highly structured treatment programs. The author discusses how adolescents develop a sense of time and how they experience time at different points in treatment. She then examines the role of the hospital setting and the individual psychotherapy process in identifying and treating troubled youngsters' disturbances in the experience of time.
